I had long forgot about these pics until a couple weekends ago when I found these! Now they are like gold to me!!! I'll be adding some more this weekend.
I think it's so cool to see these bikes in action back when they were new.
Hope you enjoy!

HERE'S DAD'S FIRST TRIKE IN 1983: 1980 TRI MOTO 125




THESE NEXT FEW ARE OF DAD ON HIS 86' 200X OUT AT OUR HOUSE IN 1987.










HERE ARE SOME PICS AT ST. JOE STATE PARK IN 1987, BACK THEN IT WAS KNOWN AS FLATRIVER. MY BROTHER AND I STILL RIDE THERE, IT'S A BLAST!




THAT'S ME ON THE HONDA 70 TAKING SOME NOTES FROM DAD! IN THE BACKGROUND IS MY UNCLE WHEELING HIS 87' 200X. AT ONE POINT IN 86/87, MY DAD, AND TWO UNCLES ALL HAD 200XS. I'M PRETTY SURE THEY HAD A LOT TO DO WITH MY LOVE FOR THAT PARTICULAR BIKE!





THE 86' TRI-Z WAS MY UNCLES AND THAT IS MY BROTHER SITTING ON IT.


I'LL BE ADDING QUITE A FEW MORE PICS FROM PARKS BLUFF CAMPGROUND IN LESTERVILLE MISSOURI AND SOME FROM RIDING AT HOME. THE PICS FROM LESTERVILLE ARE FROM A TIME THAT WILL NEVER BE RELIVED DUE TO THE EPA SHUTTING DOWN ANY TYPE OF MOTOR VEHICLES OPERATING IN THE BLACK RIVER.

Very cool pics Merge..... you guys had some serious toys. Keep 'em coming.

My uncle sold the Z back in 88' to a guy in Granite City, Illinois. Aside from that, I don't know too much about it or where it could be today. A few weeks ago though I bought my 86' TRI-Z and was really psyched thinking it could have been the same bike. I did some research on the title I had and it isnt the same bike. It is cool however to own the same model year Z that he had and the same model year X that my dad had. It's so wierd to me that my Tecate and 250R I just sold don't mean as much to me since they don't have any other value than being a trike. Those other two bikes bring back memories when I ride them. Oh well...thanks for the comments.

Awesome pics!! but your post was a tease!! I thought I was gonna find out your grandmother had an OEM 250R next to her washing machine,lol!!

Great pics. Thanks for sharing them. Wish my tri-z or 80 trimoto looked half that nice. Whatever happened to all the trikes?

[Merge_88]

All the trikes were sold in favor of 250Xs and TRX 250Rs, then it was the progrssion to dirt bikes. Today both of my uncles still ride dirt bikes and my dad is on the street only. Yet, everytime I bring a trike down, dad jumps on and trys it out! I love seeing him riding those three wheelers!
